Robin Capital is a Berlin-based solo-GP venture firm founded by Robin Haak. Haak is a German operator-investor who co-founded AI/ML job-matching platform Jobspotting (merged into SmartRecruiters), served as Global COO and Managing Director of SmartRecruiters (scaled past $100M ARR, unicorn, acquired by SAP), and co-created Paris-Berlin growth equity firm Revaia. As an angel, he has backed close to 100 companies, including writing the first check into N26. Fund II's second close in June 2026 marks the firm's continued maturation as one of the more credible solo-GP franchises in European early-stage venture.
Robin Capital backs early-stage European founders from angel and pre-seed through Series A, with particular strength in the DACH region. Fund II expands the Fund I mandate from B2B SaaS into deep tech, robotics, AI, and highly defensible products.
The firm focuses on founders with courage-driven, enduring visions, companies built for long-term category leadership rather than near-term exits.
Robin Capital Fund II completed a second close at $13.2M in June 2026, targeting a final close of $16.5M later in 2026. The first close was reached in December 2025 at approximately 60% of target.
LPs include 30+ founders and GPs globally, including unicorn founders and founding partners of multi-billion-dollar venture and growth equity firms. Ten investments have been made in 2026, with three markups already recorded.
Leadership
Robin Haak is Founder and Solo GP. He co-founded Jobspotting and led SmartRecruiters as Global COO and Managing Director through its $100M+ ARR journey and SAP acquisition.
He co-created Revaia, a Paris-Berlin growth equity firm that has grown from an initial ~$275M raise to roughly ~$660M in AUM. He holds advisory roles connected to Slush and Stepstone and has backed close to 100 companies as an angel investor, including N26 as a first-check investor.
Investment Strategy
Robin Capital invests from angel and pre-seed through Series A, writing early entry checks consistent with a sub-$17M fund and reserving capital for follow-on into breakout companies.
The firm operates a deliberate community flywheel, annual retreats, a large founder WhatsApp group, an interview series featuring established GPs and operators, and branded merchandise, designed to function as a distributed sourcing, diligence, and support network rather than a marketing exercise.
Speed and conviction are the core operating principles: as a solo GP, Haak can issue a term sheet in a single conversation with no partnership politics.
